Two young brothers missing from Belfast for close to two weeks have been found safe and well close to the Kilkenny border.

Patrick Horvath (5 years) and his brother Fabricio Horvath (8 years) were found in an estate in Thurles, county Tipperary, yesterday afternoon.

Patrick and Fabricio have since been returned safely to Northern Ireland.

The boys had been missing since Friday, May 14 when they were last seen getting into a car at the Limestrone Road area of Belfast.

Three persons, two women (50s, 30s) and one man (40s) were arrested under Section 17 Non-fatal Offences Against the Persons Act, 1997 and are currently being detained.
